Example

# write the code as method of selenium.webdriver.Chrome
def get_title(self, url):
    self.get(url)
    return self.title

# prepare your credentials
gateway_url = "https://XXXXXXXXXX.execute-api.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/default/chromeless"
gateway_apikey = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

# Then attach the function and just call it.
from chromeless import Chromeless
chrome = Chromeless(gateway_url, gateway_apikey)
chrome.attach_method(get_title)
chrome.get_title("https://google.com") # Google

Installing

1. AWS environment
   • Create new lambda function
   • Select [Code entry type] and [Upload a .ZIP file]
   • Upload deploy_package.zip
   • Increase the timeout setting and the memory setting enough
   • Create API Gateway for this lambda and note the url and apikey
2. Local environment
   • pip install chromeless
   • download examples.py
   • put your credentials as awsgateway_apikey and awsgateway_url in examples.py

That's it! Now run the examples.py and change it as you want!

Tips

• One call, One instance. Solution is wrapping.

# BAD EXAMPLE
chrome = Chromeless(awsgateway_url, awsgateway_apikey)
chrome.get("https://google.com") # lambda get triigered here
chrome.save_screenshot("screenshot.png") # so next method won't work

# SOLUTION
def wrapper(self,url,filename):
    self.get(url)
    self.save_screenshot(filename)

chrome = Chromeless(awsgateway_url, awsgateway_apikey)
chrome.attach_method(wrapper)
chrome.wrapper("https://google.com","screenshot.png")
